Madonna has joined Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his family in lighting Shabbat candles and reciting a blessing together with Netanyahu's wife Sarah.
A statement from Netanyahu's office said the singer spent two hours at the Netanyahu home on Friday evening.

U.S. pop star Madonna (2nd L) poses with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (2nd R), his wife Sara (L) and an unidentified man (R) at the Prime Minister's official residence in Jerusalem September 4, 2009, in this picture release by the Israeli Government Press Office (GPO).
U.S. pop singer Madonna visits the grave of Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzhak Luria at a cemetery in the northern town of Safed September 4, 2009. The sign reads, " The grave of Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzhak Luria".
Good thing she had her Pirates of the Caribbean scarf with her.
This is the BIBI ping list.
Disgusting. I’m dissapointed that Bibi has a penchant for this filthy Commie skank.
She is a mega lib and Bush hater. I am suprised Bibi sunk so low. Who is the guy? His son?
Isn’t she a leftist?
Would Madonna ever go against the Hollywood crowd to actually support Israel?
If she can befriend bibi and his wife then maybe she’s not such a commie?
Maybe at least Madonna recognizes that as liberal as she is, that Muslims are the complete antithesis of everything she stands for. Actually it does surprise me that liberals aren’t the ones yelling the loudest to take on Islamo-Fascism.
Bibi’s the best looking one in the picture.
He’s smirking. Almost everyone is susceptible to a visit from a celebrity, and I assume she behaved herself politely.
What a strange, strange world.
Go back twenty years and show this headline to somebody. They wouldn’t be able to make sense of it.
How long before some “offended” Muslim wacks her?
Oy vey!
Inviting Jezebel to Shabbat.
No.
She is a leftist loon and a real strumpet.
She is a mess, but I guess she doesn’t hate Bibi. Did she ever have dinner with President Bush?
> has taken the Hebrew name, Esther.
“Esther” is not a Hebrew name.
It is an Ancient Persian name meaning “Star”. The Portuguese and Spanish “Estrella” is the etymological descendent of “Esther”.
This is risky- Since she didn’t immediately burst into flames you could use this as proof there is no God.
Donning a hajib and claiming a lifelong adherence to Islam will be Madonna's next publicity-grubbing fad.
She's spent her entire life in the spotlight lurching from one whim to the next. One can only guess what stunts from this woman we have to look forward to.
